My dog does this strange thing where she comes back from her walk and then as we near home, she just stands in the same spot and looks around. Then she takes a couple of steps, waits and looks around....she does that until she is finally on the walkway to the house. She always wants to take a poop at the HOA president's place, so I follow her with my little trowel as a "pooper scooper." I have to admit, she has the right idea, he's such a jerk.
